In the next three episodes I'll be exploring deaths that led to larger social changes. Here in part one I take a look at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and how it became the catalyst for a major reform movement in worker's rights and building safety, but also how the path to those changes wasn't easy, or guaranteed. Our primary source for this episode is "Triangle: The Fire that Changed America" by David Von Drehle.
